| Next step up from the Sumiko FT-3 Hi @johnss! I'm running a Lehmann Statement Black Cube. | |
| Spatials = Done for now! @pdreher You're more than welcome to come by. I'm finely-tuning/learning how to tune the new cartridge and am still amazed by how far apart the speakers need to be according to Jim Smith's .83 ratio! I'll reach out after the holidays. | |
| No right channel in new cartridge the Hana SH or SL; $750 new from many sources. Rave reviews all around. I just installed one and am loving its crispness and clarity aling with its ability to dig out a bottom end. | |
| Next step up from the Sumiko FT-3 I'm shipping my Benz off to get re-tipped and am keeping the FT-3 in the meantime to see how it mates with the Hana SH I got for a replacement. The Hana is 5 grams compared to the Benz's 8.8, but I think the FT-3 should handle that. I also noticed... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification To step back into shallower waters here:So much of our world has become increasingly visual and on-demand. Screens proliferate and dominate. I can say the under-25 generation, having taught them for 20 years, can be even more capricious visually-... | |
| Greatest debut album Wow. To quote a letter in the latest issue of Stereophile, this thread is, with a few exceptions here and there, a memorial to OWGM - Old White Guy Music. | |
| My first phono preamp I had one of these for a while and enjoyed it. It's a solid-built little piece that delivers a clean, tube sound. I had the 1st upgrade, but as @noromance said, the biggest difference is going to be upgrading those stock 12ax7 tubes. I used a pair... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. My bad for not reading your earlier post more clearly re: the Cambridge transport. | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Hmmm. Then that shouldn't be the problem.Your drivers are clipping because they're getting too powerful a signal from the DAC in your cd player when they play certain frequencies or ranges. Do you have any other amplification sources you can try f... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. The Hales are 86db at 8ohms - that might be a pretty difficult load to drive at high volume for most amplifiers less than 100 watts. The review of them (1998) on Soundstage! had them powered by 200w Pass Labs. he did use a 40w Clayton S-40 tube am... | |
| Book Shelf Speakers rj An Authentic Enclosure Here're a few links:http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/authentic-rj-speaker-enclosure-with-jensen-coaxial-dr...And try this:http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/id-this-rj-speaker.393482/ | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought YMMV, but a pair of Focal monitors. Hooked them up, listened for a few minutes, unhooked them and listed them for sale. Much to dry and colorless for my taste. But it wasn't money wasted; rather, it helped solidify my tonal tastes! | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? +1 for @cd318I mean, if I made more, I'd invest more. But my income bracket dictates I stick with what I can, so it's almost always a sideways lateral. However, the Spatial M3 Turbo S's I have no rival anything I've ever had. Including speakers th... | |
| Next step up from the Sumiko FT-3 Thanks! After a decent google search, I found it hard to find them anywhere. Oddly enough. Still, I'm about to send off the SAMA for recalibration and the Benz for re-tipping. It's good to finally take the table apart and practice putting it back ... | |
| Streaming services. I just started a 30-day trial for Deezer premium and really like it. The FLAC sonic quality is phenomenal. My one beef is that my Oppo 105 won't stream it (it only does Tidal), but my family room system with humble Elac B6's has come to life. |
